Materials

This product is made of apple leather.

Apple leather is a bio-based material made using pulp and peel leftover from the apple juice and compote industry. Apple pulp is classified as special waste and, in most cases, ends up in landfills or, in some cases, is incinerated as fuel.

One of the most important aspects of using apple waste is that it is a completely renewable resource. It significantly reduces the CO2 impact compared to artificial leather made from 100% fossil fuels. It does not contain any toxic chemicals and is hypoallergenic. It is durable, soft, and high-quality.

Care Guide

• Protect your bag from heat and moisture. If your bag gets wet, pat it dry with a clean, absorbent cloth and let it air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat sources like hair dryers, as they can damage the material.
• Wipe off any spills or stains immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may contain alcohol, acid or oils.
• Use a conditioner specifically formulated for faux or vegan leather. Apply a small amount and buff with a clean cloth to maintain suppleness.
• When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in its cotton dust bag, to protect it from dust and scratches.
• Avoid overloading your bag to prevent straining seams and weakening the material. Rotate its use to prevent excessive wear and allow it to rest, in order to maintain its shape.
• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the bag with a mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge, and then wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth.
• Consider applying a water repellent spray to protect the bag from light rain or accidental spills. Make sure to test the spray on a small, inconspicuous area first.

DO:

• Air dry the leather
• Wipe wet leather dry quickly with a soft dry cloth
• Regularly clean the entire bag with a clean cloth or brush
• Keep it supple with conditioner every few months
• Spot-test any cleaners in a hidden place before using

DON'T:

• Machine wash or dry leather
• Iron it
• Use harsh chemicals, especially bleach or ammonia
• Soak or immerse in water
• Store in the sun or near heat sources like your radiator

Prev stands for "Plant" and "Revolution", so you can guess what this brand excels in.

Eco-friendly: Many plant-based alternatives to leather use PU or other oil-based materials. Prev dares to innovate and uses materials such as apple leather, but also lesser-known vegan leather alternatives such as a material made from olives or tea waste.

Fair & local production: Prev's items are made in small Turkish factories under good working conditions.

Vegan: All products from Prev are vegan-proof.
